[Engine Masters] Vortec head + cam swap

Caught this one tonight

I think its pretty relevant considering all the times people ask what they can do t a 305 or a 350 in their car. The Vortec Head swap proves well here. Making some decent numbers, although, I think with a smaller roller cam they could have made just as much power with less duration.

Cam pick will vary with intake as well.

Carb vs. stealth ram vs. TPI accordingly :-)
